Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me find my sacramental record? ARCAT will assist individuals searching for sacraments administered within the Archdiocese of Toronto if they do not know where the sacrament was administered. If an individual knows where sacrament was administered they will be referred to relevant parish, etc. Please contact our office at 416-934-3400 ext. 501.

How do I gain access to ARCAT’s holdings? A research interview is required by telephone or in person to identify sources and outline search strategy.

Members of the public may conduct research in ARCAT Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday, 9:00 AM - 4:15 PM, by appointment only. Please contact our office at 416-934-3400 ext. 501.
